What’s the most convincing scam text you’ve seen recently?

Hi guys, I’ve been building Korpus to help people check if a message is a scam.

This is one I came across recently 👇

This might seem obvious to some, but a lot of people — especially older adults, who are often most vulnerable — fall for messages like this and lose real money.

But a few things stand out:

• The link is not a real DMV domain

• It creates urgency and pressure to act immediately

• It threatens penalties to push you into clicking

Curious:

👉 Would you have clicked this?

👉 What would make you trust or question it?

👉 Have you or someone you know dealt with something like this?

Feels like scams are getting way more convincing lately, so trying to understand what actually feels real to people today.
